Stranger of Sword City Release Date Slips
Santa Ana, CA (January 28, in the year of our Lord
2016) – Today, NIS America announced that the release
date for Stranger of Sword City has been moved to April 26 for
North America, and April 29 for Europe. NIS America also
confirmed that the PlayStation® Vita release will feature two
different selectable in - game art styles, and released sample
screenshots to show off this option. Stranger of Sword City will
be coming to the PlayStation® Vita as both a physical and
digital release.
About the story: Your flight crashes after passing through a
mysterious portal. As the sole survivor, you awaken to an
unfamiliar land lit by stars you’ve never seen. This land is
Escario, the city of swords. Quickly marked as the Chosen One,
the Stranger of Sword City, you must defend this place, and
choose your allegiances carefully as you scour the land for a
way home.
Key Features:
A Surprising Dark Fantasy – A labyrinth wouldn’t be complete
without the trappings of darkness that this fantasy brings. The
story and characters depart from the comedy and lightness found
in some of Experience’s other games, and opts for traditional
hardcore elements like perma - death and Life Points, while
infusing the gameplay with a new Ambush system which will
challenge you to decide how much risk you’re willing to accept
to obtain the greatest loot.
Competition in the Dungeon – Unlike most dRPGs, Stranger of
Sword Citywon’t leave you as a stranger among your peers. Online
leaderboards will allow you to finally compete with your
friends, and strangers across the world to display your
dominance in everything from the best gear, to the fastest clear
time.
Art Overwhelming – Fantasy is created by visuals and music as
much as by story. In this title, the breathtaking art throughout
your travels, and abundance of character portraits available for
creating your perfect party will allow you to be truly
transported into the magic of Sword City.
